Rival strikes back with new mixtape and video

May saw a new project from East London artist Rival, who has followed up his epic year-long BISC series with grimy mixtape Rivz Strikes Back. The intro freestyle, produced by Russian CREEP N00M, lets us listeners know straight off the bat that Rival means business, setting the tone for the rest of the tape. Guests on Rivz Strikes Back include Manga Saint Hilare and Dubz D, with notable productions from Filthy Gears, who Rival has thanked for inspiring him to start the project.

A music video for ‘Rivz Strikes Back (Intro)’ has just been released via GRM Daily. Watch that above, and check out the tape below…
